PhD faculty pay hike awaits finance nod
Srinagar, Sep 25: The Jammu and Kashmir Government has yet to approve a proposed hike in the monthly remuneration of Ph.D.-qualified need-based faculty in Government Degree Colleges, with the case currently under examination after the Finance Department returned it with observations. In a written reply to a question by Khurshid Ahmad Sheikh (Langate), the Higher Education Department said the faculty members are currently being paid 28,000 per month under Government Order No. 137-JK(HE) of 2024, dated March 1, 2024. The question highlighted the difference in remuneration between J&K and Bihar, where faculty in equivalent positions are reportedly paid 92,000 per month. The department said it had taken up the matter of enhancing the existing remuneration and referred the case to the Finance Department to bring the pay of need-based faculty in J&K at par with similarly engaged faculty in universities and colleges across the country, in accordance with UGC regulations. However, the Finance Department returned the case with certain observations, which are currently being examined by the Higher Education Department. The department said it would compile the required information and refer the case again to the Finance Department for concurrence. Further action will be taken on priority after the concurrence is received and approval is granted by the competent authority. The government has not specified any timeline for the proposed enhancement or announced a decision on the review of the faculty members service conditions.

Misa Bharti seeks FIR against Bihar CM over Jamui row
Digital Desk | Patna, Sep 25 (IANS) RJD Rajya Sabha MP Misa Bharti on Friday reached the Secretariat Police Station in Patna seeking registration of an FIR against Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary over his social media post featuring the family of a minor girl involved in the Jamui molestation case. Bharti submitted a written complaint at the police station and waited for some time, but alleged that the police refused to accept her complaint or register an FIR. She subsequently left the police station without the case being registered. Speaking after visiting the Secretariat Police Station, Bharti said she had approached the police to lodge an FIR against the Chief Minister and questioned how ordinary citizens are treated when seeking to register complaints. We have not come to the Secretariat police station to play caste politics. We are elected representatives of the people, Members of Parliament. If my FIR is not being registered, one can only imagine the plight of ordinary citizens of Bihar at police stations, she said. She also pointed out that Choudhary holds the portfolios of both Chief Minister and Home Minister. Referring to the Jamui case, she claimed that FIRs had been registered against more than 250 people, including news-channel personnel, YouTubers and ordinary citizens, over the circulation of related material. Bharti alleged that the Chief Ministers interaction with the victims family and the subsequent publication of the photograph raised questions under the POCSO Act. The Chief Minister of Bihar was holding a photo session after summoning the victimised girl and her family members. On one hand, cases are being registered against news channels for violating the POCSO Act. Yet, he himself shared a photo on X that violates the same Act, only to delete the post after realising the error twenty minutes later. Does this constitute a violation of the POCSO Act or not? she asked. The controversy centres on the Jamui case, in which police have arrested those accused of the alleged molestation of a minor girl. The issue took a political turn after Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary shared a photograph on social media with the victims family during his interaction with them on Thursday. RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav subsequently alleged that the photograph violated provisions of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. The post was later deleted. Tejashwi also questioned why police had not registered an FIR against the Chief Minister, arguing that they had taken action against other individuals accused of sharing photographs or videos related to the case on social media. He said the law should apply equally to everyone and warned that he would approach the court if the police did not register a case against Choudhary. Bharti also referred to a series of recent incidents involving girls and women reported from different parts of Bihar, including Jamui, Samastipur, Banka, Madhepura and Darbhanga. She alleged that the incidents reflected concerns over womens safety in the state. The controversy now centres on whether the police will formally take up Bharti's complaint and whether any legal proceedings will follow over the photograph shared by the Chief Minister. Any allegation of a POCSO violation would ultimately have to be examined under applicable law, based on the facts and evidence available to the authorities.

Ready to debate statehood, but wont allow debate on 370, autonomy: LoP Sunil Sharma
Srinagar, Sep 25 : Leader of Opposition Sunil Sharma on Friday said the BJP is ready to debate the restoration of full statehood to Jammu and Kashmir, but would not allow a debate on Article 370 or the 2000 autonomy resolution. Addressing reporters, Sharma, as per the news agencyKashmir News Observer (KNO), said the resolution moved by Chief Minister Omar Abdullah is controversial and questioned the inclusion of the 2000 autonomy resolution in the fresh resolution seeking restoration of statehood. Todays resolution moved by the Chief Minister is controversial and disputed. The BJP had rejected the autonomy resolution and even tore it up. Why is that resolution being discussed again in todays resolution? Sharma said. He also questioned the Congress partys position on the autonomy resolution and Article 370, asking it to clarify whether it stood with the resolutions or the government. Congress should clear its position, from Rahul Gandhi to the State Chief of Congress. Is it with this resolution? Is it with the pre-1953 resolution? Is it with the resolution of 370, or is it with the government? he said. Sharma also questioned Omar Abdullahs position, pointing out that he was a minister in the NDA government led by then Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee when the autonomy resolution was rejected. When the BJP rejected and tore up this resolution, wasnt Omar Abdullah a minister in the NDA at that time? Didnt he continue as a partner of the NDA? he asked. The LoP said the government is using the statehood issue to divert attention from governance-related issues, while asserting that the BJP was ready for a debate on statehood. If you want to debate statehood, we challenge you. We are ready to debate on statehood. But you want to make Kashmir a fool in the name of statehood, Sharma said. He further alleged that the government is using the statehood issue to hide its failures and prolong its restoration. The BJP rejects this resolution. The so-called autonomy and the resolution of 370 and we will not allow debate on this issue, he said. LoP Sharma said the BJP would continue its protest until the Congress clarified its position on Article 370 and the autonomy resolution and the government answered its questions.(KNO)
